PHP -Send Multiple E mails - when submit the form

[Harshpandya]

Hi all,

I am working on the form in which you fill out the whole PHP form and e mail that details to someone. It is working fine. But now i want to send the same form to be sent to different people and user should be able choose the check boxes to whom they want to send e mail to.

I write some code simple If else conditions but i think i am making some mistakes. Because when i tried - it is not sending them e mails.

Here is my code. I have 2 files. 1 is the HTML form and second is the PHP files.

HTML FORM:----------------------I put the check boxes. - I want the user to choose the check boxes to whom user want to send E mail.

<td><strong>E mail Send to:</strong> </td>
               <td colspan="2">
               <input name="send" type="checkbox" value="Harsh">
               Harsh 
               <input name="send" type="checkbox" value="Abbey">
               Abbey 
               <input name="send" type="checkbox" value="Michelle">
               Michelle               
             </td>

HERE IS MY PHP CODE:--------------------------------

<?php
 
$subject = "Catch of the Week- Name--".$_POST["Name"]."\n";
 
$message = ' Employee Firstname--'.$_POST["employee_firstname"]."\n".' Employee Lastname--'.$_POST["employee_lastname"]."\n".'Work Area--'.$_POST["work"]."\n".' Nominated For--'.$_POST["nominated"]."\n".'Comments--'.$_POST["comments"]."\n".' Name of Sender--'.$_POST["Name"]."\n".'Address--'.$_POST["Address"]."\n".'Phone Number--'.$_POST["phone_number"]."\n";
$headers = 'From: webmaster@' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: webmaster@' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "\r\n" .
   'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if($subject)
{
 
elseif($send == "Harsh")
{
 mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $message, $headers);
}
 
elseif($send == "Abbey")
{
 mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $message, $headers);
}
 
elseif($send == "Michelle")
{
 mail("", $subject, $message, $headers);
}
 
elseif($send == "Harsh")
{
 mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $message, $headers);
}
 
echo "Thank you for nominating a staff member for our Catch of Week Drawing. Winners are drawn every Friday. You can check Housing Happenings for a list of the winners, and who nominated them. If your nomination form is complete and drawn, you win a Movie Ticket.";
}
else
echo "failed";
?>

I have added HARSH - ABBEY and MIchelle - as check boxes but its not working when i submit. Remember it was working for only one person so when i added multiple people it is not working so the problem might be in IF Else conditions.

Thanks,
Please Help - I would Appreciate it.

the way elseif works is if the first one is true it doesn't check the rest. u should have single if statements for each one to get it to work.

and your starting an elseif in the body of an if statement with no beginning if
yours:
[PHP]
if(...)
{
elseif(..)
}
}
[/PHP]

should be:
[PHP]
if(...)
{
if(..)
{
}
elseif(..)
{
}
}
[/PHP]

good luck

For some reason it it still not working - i tried changing the "if else" conditions but not working.

Please Help,

your checkboxes have the same name (name="send"), give them different names, use different variable for each checkbox in your php code.

When u submit the form it isn't sends all the checkboxes that were checked, just the last one cuz they all have the same reference.

or u can try (not 100% sure this will work):
[PHP]$_POST["send"][0][/PHP]
or get.

Use $_POST["send"] instead of $send in if else.

Your script can send email to only one person. To send mail to multiple persons change the checkbox name to send[] for each checkbox.

<input name="send[]" ...

And use the below code to see if use selected the checkbox or not

if( in_array("Harsh", $_POST["send"]) )
mail(... // send mail

if( in_array("Abbey", $_POST["send"]) )
mail(... // send mail
